GENERAL INFORMATION

FEATURES

IMPROVEMENTS IN COMFORT

• With the adoption of fully-automatic A/C, the outside/inside air circulation switching, air outlet, and outlet air temperature are automatically controlled according to the ambient temperature, solar radiation, and passenger compartment temperature so that the optimum air conditioner is achieved.
  
• By the adoption of clean air filter, the air quality inside the passenger compartment has been improved.
  

IMPROVEMENTS IN OPERATION PERFORMANCE

• Operability has been improved by the adoption of large triple dial.
  
• Customise function has been added for the improved convenience.
  

IMPROVEMENTS IN FUEL ECONOMY

• The high efficiency compressor with a 2-step profile oil separator has been installed, thus improving the fuel economy.
  
• The idle-up speed is controlled in two steps to secure the air cooling performance during summer and to improve the fuel economy in the seasons with moderate temperature.
  
• Improvement of fuel economy by the cooling fan control depending on the refrigerant pressure and vehicle speed.
  

IMPROVEMENT IN SAFETY

• A/C system is stopped when the air bags are deployed.
  
• Crushable space has been adopted to heater unit to reduce the risk of passenger injuries in case of a collision.
  

GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION

• New refrigerant system (HFC134a) has been adopted.
  
• By the optimisation of A/C system, the refrigerant charging amount has been reduced.
  
• Clean air filter media and its cover are separated to reduce waste materials.
  

IMPROVEMENTS IN SERVICE QUALITY

• Reduction of refrigerant gas leakage and improvement in serviceability by incorporating condenser and receiver
  
• Clean air filter is installed to the backside of glove box to facilitate the filter replacement.
